YEAR+TWO

What does TOK mean in grade 12?
====The beginning of the year will be a short review of essential TOK themes. You will be introduced to real world situations that relate to these themes and we will discuss knowledge issues that may be present.====

We will then continue to explore the areas of **Arts**, **History and Indigenous Knowledge Systems** and attempt to answer such questions as:
//What is Art? How do we judge Art? What role does art play in society?//

//What is History? How can the past be known? Can historical events be described in neutral language? How reliable is eyewitness testimony as a primary source?//

Your main focus this year will be the TOK presentation and the TOK essay.
The ToK essay will be the focus in December and January when we return from break. ToK presentations will take place in the middle of March, 2016

Assessment:
Semester I: 20% assignments and reflections/ 20% discussions and seminars/ 20% Arts presentation/ 20% mini essay

Semester II: 20% assignments and reflections/ 30% ToK presentation/ 30% ToK essay
